WHAT WE SAY TO EACH OTHER
Timing. Timing. Timing.
Every thing we hear is pulled
Into our souls by our interpretation
At that moment.
Say the same exact thing at another
Time and what we hear... what we take
In is different.
Examples are endless... but some stand out as I live each
day....
I love you.
For some.... they are looking into the eyes of their future
and in that moment they are reminded why they love.
For some.... they are looking into the eyes of a person
that has a place that no one may every touch, but to say
those words back would be a lie.
For some... those words create a level of anxiety, a world
of trust they may not believe in.
I have stood by people many times in each of these situations.
I have also been that person in every position.
And my answers, feelings and responses would be different
today
Then ten years ago and ten years before that.
Timing!
There are a million of these moments, questions, words,
answers,
Responses and feelings running through each of us every
day.
On Monday you have the key to the world and on Friday you
have no idea what world you are trying to open.
Men live through all the same situations as women and we
need to stop
Leaving them out. Emotions are human.
There is safety in timing.... if you believe in it.
Learning to let time come, settle, pass and start over.
The only thing I am certain of other than
I believe in timing.....
Our my beliefs in what we say to each other ...
And their impact
Truly belongs to each person's ability to hear.
I am not always ready to hear the truth.
I am not always hearing what people are actually saying,
I carry my own set of stones in my belly and fires in my
heart
And both are moved or set a flame by the words of another.
So here is my plan....
See if it works for you...
Every time I have "heard" something that truly
caused a
Reaction in me....
Love....
Anger....
Fear....
Happiness....
Defensive....
Hope....
Friendship....
Acceptance...
Rejection....
If it moved me in another direction or made me question
something good, bad or indifferent...
I SAID NOTHING! (really that is true) ha ha
I WROTE WHAT THE PERSON SAID DOWN FIVE TIMES!
AND EACH NIGHT I TOOK THOSE "WORDS" AND ATTEMPTED
TO
COME UP WITH FIVE INTERPRETATIONS OF WHAT I WAS
HEARING.
Here are my conclusions thus far....
1. I need a dictionary
2. My interpretation has everything to do with me
3. Once I think I understand what the person said ... now
ask questions
4. I have buttons, they get pushed. Interesting to see
at the end of the
Day what/who seemed to be pushing what buttons.
And lastly.... I have always known time ... just time is
precious ... it is the only
Real gift I believe we can give to one another....
The choice of where to spend my time either physically
or mentally
Seems really clear after my game of interpretation...
And reality is in between..
my initial interpretation,
the interpretation I settled with hours later
and
the answers to the questions I began to ask.
Oh... and this one... big help.
NO ONE IS ABOVE HAVING THEIR BUTTONS PUSHED!
It is just what you do with it when you feel the push!
